I guess it all depends what you are looking for. Here is a good description of the distinction between the two sites...
"The two social networks have carved out contrasting, though shifting, reputations. MySpace, owned by the News Corporation, has fostered an anarchic aura with few restrictions on creativity, while allowing users to integrate tools from other companies into their pages, like slide show displays. Recently, however, the company has blocked the efforts of several companies to advertise to MySpace users or otherwise make money through those tools.
Facebook, on the other hand, has kept its members in something of a creative straitjacket. Users could not customize their pages or add tools created by other companies.
Those restrictions helped preserve Facebook’s clean, uniform appearance and reinforced its emphasis on offering practical ways to communicate online with friends."

lol Shows you how little I know. I guess I was focused on the description of MySpace as "anarchic...with few restrictions on creativity". I've always been amazed/repelled by how chaotic people's MySpace pages look. Anarchy seemed like the right word. |

I'm way more addicted to TA than Facebook.
At least TA promotes the sharing of relevant knowledge not necessarily limited to the music we all hold dear. So many good discussions happen here. Hard to find on Facebook or MySpace. |
